[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1714201, member: 41816"] I think this is often a situation where Type 1s and Type 2s have very different experiences. Type 1s are often diagnosed after a relatively short period of high blood glucose, and therefore complications are a few years in their future. Type 2s are often diagnosed after years of undiagnosed high blood glucose, metabolic syndrome and high insulin, and so may have had complications for a while before diagnosis. I read that 10 years of undiagnosed T2 is not uncommon before the person even knows that they have diabetes. We have a number of regular posters with pre-diabetes who have complications like neuropathy, so it is not uncommon. In those circumstances, trying to halt or reverse years of pre-existing damage can seem like a high priority, and maintaining strict blood glucose control is a step on that path. [USER=433463]@Cloherty123[/USER] your profile doesn't say whether you are type 1 or 2 or one of the others, but it can make quite a difference to the information that is useful to you. [/QUOTE]
